I might add that I have seen a lot of polls a lot of places, and the GOP is doing better north of the Mason Dixon line with blacks in most places than the normal partisan baseline. One can speculate why, but it is there.
Interesting. Northern Blacks were, of course, the first to go Democrat during the era of FDR, mostly because of the big-city Democrat political machines. Southern Blacks remained Republican until LBJ and then became radicalized along with their Northern brethren.
It does seem rather surprising that Southern Blacks would not be more approving, as they tend to be a bit more Conservative (even if the radical buffoons they send to Congress don't seem to represent that), although the polarization present may be more pronounced in the South.
We'll see if a break in the dam occurs in the MD Senate race (less so with the OH & PA Govs, since both men are, alas, likely to lose). I mentioned it some time ago, but I believe the highest vote-getter amongst Blacks for major office for the GOP in the past 25 years was Tom Kean, Sr's. reelection for NJ Governor in 1985, where he received somewhere between half and 2/3rds of their vote.
